Ho! my little maiden / With the glossy tresses, / Come thou and dance with me / A measure all divine; / Let my breast be laden / With but thy caresses- / Come thou and glancingly / Mate thy face with mine.

Thou shalt trill a rondel, / While my lips are purling / Some dainty twitterings / Sweeter than the birds'; / And, with arms that fondle / Each as we go twirling, / We will kiss, with titterings, / Lisps and loving words.
